Fincher, who recently directed The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo, commented on the upcoming film adaptation of Dark Horse comic and confirmed that serious financial planning will begin in early 2012.
The Goon, created by Eisner award winning artist and writer Eric Powell, is known for it's dark humor and engaging storyline that features a plethora of interesting characters and creatures ranging from zombie mafia, immortal cowboy ghouls and giant Spanish lizards. So far David Fincher, who is producing the film with Blur studios animators stepping in to direct, has been shopping the comic con footage with Powell in tow and although nobody has confirmed they want the project, Clancy Brown and Paul Giamatti are locked down to voice the main characters Goon and Franky respectively.
Speaking with Ed Douglas from Comingsoon.net, David Fincher gave a brief but promising update on The Goon during promotion for his upcoming Girl with The Dragon Tattoo adaptation. The opening credits for that film were animated at Blur Studios with Tim Miller. This is the very same studio behind the highly anticipated dark animated comic to film adaptation of The Goon.
"Eric's been working on it and Tim's been working on it, and Jeff (Fowler). People continue to work on it and refine stuff, but it's hard for me because I'm in Sweden, so I can't really make many production meetings, but the attempt is to in January really go out and try and figure out a price that makes sense. I don't know why you can spend $200 million on The Incredibles but you can't spend $50 million on The Goon."
